Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Long Line customers choose us

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we are called out for in Long Line
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Long Line, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Long Line
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Long Line?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Long Line and the rest of Sheffield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
